An intriguing take on the concealable ‘pipe pistol’ concept developed by inventor Vivian Charles Eric Marten-Gwilliam. His patents included on for a breech mechanism, another for a torpedo launching mechanism, a torpedo tube door and another for a clip to hold paper to boards.
This pistol, however, was designed as a weapon for members of the Local Defence Volunteers (LDV), the initial name for the Home Guard. According to the Imperial War Museum Marten-Gwilliam’s Pipe Pistol was designed to “be produced in quantity as a 'means of dealing with isolated enemy paratroopers in country districts whereby certain plain-clothes members of the LDV would be trained in its use'.”
The weapon appears to be of all metal construction with the pipe’s acting as the barrel. The Imperial War Museum describes it as being chambered in “.22 calibre cartridges”, it is not stated if the pistol can hold more than one round. There is a small trigger at the base of the stem, with the pipe bowl intended to be used as a small pistol grip. Apparently the pistol could be smoked, like a real pipe, even when loaded. The pistol was apparently not adopted, the need for a concealed weapon to take on enemy paratroops was somewhat outlandish and impractical. I would love to examine the pistol to see how it works.
This is your reminder to:
own a pistol
train with your guns
carry your handgun loaded
carry your handgun everyday and everywhere
train with your guns
shoot it once a month
practice dry fire weekly
practice your draw
practice reloading
own body armor
own a rifle with an optic and light
train with it
practice reloading from your plate carrier
I can't believe it's already been a whole year! Check out what goes on under the hood 😎
As per Counter Clockwise tradition, I'm sliding this in last minute XD
Thanks so much to my patrons and anyone who's ever given my comic a glance!! Seriously means the world to me, cheers. 🥰
Of course! Aileen is my Sig and was my first, so naturally has a very special place in my heart 💕 I need to get a custom holster made due to the fact that I added the laser pointer, flashlight, and red dot, but haven't gotten around to it. Val is my tiny .380 (for easy pocket carry) (mask for scale 😅)
I also got a Jericho recently which is a gorgeous piece and an absolute pleasure to hold & to shoot - the weighting is incredible & recoil barely noticeable - but I haven't picked a name yet 🤷
I have no info on this video. Appears to be somewhere in Latin America but check out homie in the white shirt and flip flops go John wick on two mugger/kidnappers. As soon as he can he conceals the draw and starts dumping rounds. Note he doesn’t stop until one of his attackers is no longer a threat and he even has a wml on his carry piece. The way he goes after the survivor makes me think he’s an off duty cop or MP.
